海西王台称雄女真考论——兼论明代女真统一的历史趋势

Investigation on Haixi Wangtai dominating Nüzhen——Discussion on historical trend of Nüzhen unification in Ming dynasty

万历十一年,努尔哈赤起兵之前,约近半个世纪,女真族民族意识迅速增强,各部豪强巨酋迭起,尤其是哈达王台,强盛达30年,他恭顺明廷,居"南关"要地,控制贸易,专"居停之利",控制敕书,执诸部牛耳,从而号令海西、建州女真各部。所谓"海、建诸部日强,皆建国称汗",是对东北地区民族关系变化、女真从分散走向统一历史趋势的概括。然而,王台称雄女真,虽未能完成女真统一大业,但其实践活动在女真统一的进程中却具有里程碑性的重要意义。

In the period of Wanli 11 years, about a half century, before revolting of XiHaNuChi, Ntizhen had a strong sense of nationality, such sense was more and more intense. Many despotic giant chieftains rose one after another, especially, Hada Wangtai prevailed for nearly 30 years. He obeyed the ruling of Ming dy- nasty, occupied ＂south gateway＂ - a strategic point, controlled trade, and enjoyed special right ; he controlled imperial edict, and restricted his tribes, therefore, he was able to control Haixi and build Niizhen tribes. ＂ The tribes built by Haixi were stronger day by day.-.＂ This is a summary of the historical trend of Ntizhen from scattering to unification. However, since Wangtai dominated Niizhen, though he did not finish the great cause of unification by Ntizhen, his milestone deed is of great significance to the procedure of Nuzhen unification.
